Wolff Apartment

It had been two weeks since Alex and Sam had been sent to jail, and Nat felt like they had gotten no closer to finding out what Alex was scared of anyone else finding out.

"It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack," Thomas complained in frustration.

"With what we have to narrow it down, more like a needle in a needlestack." Qaasim moaned.

A lot of people were angry that the band appeared to do nothing when Alex was sent to Juvie and had taken it out on the band. The taunts alone were bad enough, but some had taken it too far and were throwing trash at them. It was not helped by Matt Pinfield's reports which only made things more tense. Things were getting out of hand, and there were concerns of mass fighting between Alex's supporters and the bands, many actually forgetting the band had officially broken up, almost a month previously. Juanita hadn't fared much better and Nat could tell that only his and her hearts were still in it.

"Do you guys just want to do your own thing for a while?" Juanita asked irritated.

"Junaita's right, you guys should go out and have fund, were getting nowhere here," Nat said, he was hoping Sam was having better luck.

Juvenile Detention Centre

Sam lay on his bed singing quietly to himself to keep sane. He had no one to talk to for 2 weeks because he had annoyed Alex so much in the first day that he refused to say anything to him.

"Why are you here!?" Alex asked aggressively, on the 3rd day of the third week of their sentence. Alex was no longer able to stand ignoring the only person he was in contact with.

"I'm here, because I'm here" Sam said shrugging his shoulders, if he had of known earlier that it would have been this boring he would never have agreed.

"BE SERIOUS!" Alex yelled, seizing his first opportunity in weeks to vent his anger.

"What do you want to hear?!" Sam said loudly

"EVERYTHING!" Alex yelled glaring at Sam who was lying on his bed as though merely bored.

Sam sat up and swung his legs of the bed.

"You want to know why I joined the fight?! Why I'm in here instead of being free?!" Sam said hotly, the tension of the boredom finally being given and outlet.

"HOW STUPID ARE YOU!" Alex yelled" YES! I SAID EVERTHING!"

Sam looked as though he wanted to hit Alex, but managed to restrain himself.

"I saw you, that kid and that Matt Pinfield guy all going at it! 2 against 1 wasn't a fair fight, so I evened the odds." Sam said aggressively.

"I WAS DOING ALRIGHT BY MYSELF!" Alex yelled angry at the reason for his interference.

"YEAH! YOU WERE DOING SO WELL!" Sam yelled back sarcastically.

They both glared at each other, and if looks could kill both might as well have lain down and died right there.

"YOU GOT YOUR ASS KICKED TOO!" Alex yelled back, after a very tense silence.

"AND YOU THINK I DID THIS TO LOOK GOOD!" Sam shouted matching Alex yell for yell.

"TELL ME WHY THEN!" Alex yelled looking doubtful for an answer.

"YOUR BROTHER!..." Sam yelled back.

"Nat screwed you over too?" Alex asked loudly a bit off foot.

Sam had been wondering if Nat had screwed him over, it wasn't quite the holiday he had expected but Sam kept that thought private.

"NO! He come to see me after we were arrested!" Sam said vocally not backing down.

Alex looked a bit hurt and like he was going to start yelling again.

"Listen!" Sam ordered, "He knew, somehow he knew you were going away, and he asked me to…"

"MAKE MY LIFE HELL?" Alex asked fuming.

"NO! If I was here to do that, you would be with everyone else. If your brother wanted me to do that… I WOULD NOT BE HERE" Sam said frustrated.

"Yeah, like you had a choice!" Alex sneered.

Sam looked equally as angry with Alex, as Alex did with him.

"I DID!" Sam hissed venomously, "I'm in this country through a programme, and by being in that programme I get protection from the law… Protection I did not use!"

Alex looked far from convinced.

"Right…! You want me to believe that you chose to come to a hellhole like this!" Alex said sceptically.

"Yes I do!" Sam said forcefully.

"If that's the truth, you're an Idiot!" Alex jeered.

"Yeah, I probably am. I can't even get what Nat wants me to get." Sam said admitting defeat.

"What's that!" Alex said getting defensive.

"He wants me to find out what you think he blames you for" Sam said staring at Alex.

"He knows," Alex said quietly.

"Maybe he blames you for more than you think, how is he supposed to know which one you mean?" Sam said cautiously.

"How dumb is he?" Alex complained loudly to himself.

"Why don't you tell me?" Sam asked sensing the ice was pretty thin.

"NO! I'M NOT THAT DUMB!" Alex yelled getting more defensive. "I'm not going to tell you! I have to put up with you for another two weeks"

"How about a hint!" Sam said getting agitated.

"NO!" Alex yelled instantly.

"One for Nat! Not Me!" Sam said loudly.

Alex mulled it over for five minutes, getting angrier just at the thought of it.

"I'm only telling you this because your as much of an Idiot as Nat is" Alex said through gritted teeth.

Sam just nodded, and bit back the retort forming in his mouth.

"Tell your good buddy Nat, what he's too stupid to know is where he doesn't expect anything to be" Alex said his face contorting with every word.

"What the hell does that mean?" Sam asked, annoyed at what seemed like such a useless piece of information.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WANTING? A F***ING MAP!" Alex yelled furiously as he laid down on his bed with a look of utmost hatred plastered on his face.
